Hello people, happy new year, today (4/1/18) I had my blood test and will get the result on the 18th, which I shall report here.
Christmas day I had 6 roast potatoes, 3 parsnips, carrots and 2 Yorkshire puddings and 3/4 bottle of prosecco. My FBG next day was 5.8
Since I did not take a BG test on the day I decided to experiment yesterday. I had 3 slices of Hovis granary bread with my soup and for my evening meal I had 10 (yes ten) Taco's my BG test was 6.5
Obviously I will not be eating like that as a norm but I am pleased that my body seems to be coping really well with carbohydrates.
Giving up bread and pasta and rice was difficult but now I do not really think about it. I have replaced rice with cauliflower rice and eat more protein and fat. My weight is back up to 79/80KG but my waist remains 32/34 inches.
Most importantly for me is I feel well and I am not taking all those medications.
